Ahh, with 0.9.12, we are one step away from using Java!! So far, I have
tried to use a Java-based game that provides it's own JRE in Wine.
It start up fast, and i do mean *fast*, and displays the game's
splash-banner, and draws a quick black all over the screen (which other
X clients remove by repainting their windows). It then decides to crash,
but alas, it did do *something*.
javaw.exe -version gives this:
java version "1.4.0_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0_01-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0_01-b03, mixed mode)
the crash gives just this, and nothing more:
swapper.jar: stack smashing attack in function WAVEMAP_widMessage()
Aborted
